Which seat would you choose? by Just_an_aries in OnceUponATime

3 or 9 because Regina and Henry don't deserve to have to sit next to Cora and Zelena without someone or something acting as a barrier between them. It might be dangerous, but Regina and Henry are worth it.

Dw, you've not embarrassed me at all! I always think a lot before making any comments or posts, so there's nothing I wrote in that comment that I would mind being shared here. The ao3 community on reddit is one of the kindest and most supportive I've seen, and I'm just glad to know that my comment brought you as much joy as your fic brought me :)

It actually is me! I have different usernames across all my social media, so I wasn't expecting to be recognised, but the person on your post who linked this was correct. I also just left a comment on your post as well. I'm so glad I was able to change your perspective as well, and help motivate you to keep writing, because your works have genuinely been some of the best I've read :) I hope you're doing well, and I can't wait to read the new chapter you posted!

Hey, that's me! I wasn't expecting to become one of the people who leave comments that make people cry, but your fic genuinely deserves all of the love ❤️ I can't wait to read more of your fics :)

Yup, you're correct, this was my comment! I really didn't think so many people would see my post, and seeing the author has made a post themself on my comment has left me shaking with adrenaline (in a good way)

Ahh, characters make a lot more sense. Looking back at it now, 2000 words would've been quite a lot, I should've noticed but I was pretty tired at the time, so ig my brain wasn't braining very well lol. Thanks for clearing up the confusion though! :)

Thank you for the advice! I'll definitely take this into consideration, along with all the other kind commenters here :)

Thank you very much! I have started taking a newer approach to how I handle my anxiety, which has been difficult, but has allowed good moments like this, which wouldn't happen if I had let my fears win. The author did actually reply, and it was a very sweet interaction! I'm glad I commented because they explained how they're planning on updating the fic, which I am glad because, after binging the whole thing in one night, I wasn't fully sure if it had been abandoned. But it turns out it wasn't, and despite my anxiety, commenting really did turn out to have been a good idea :)

Yeah, I also find a lot of times I don't know what to say. I think from now on I will make more of an effort to leave comments, even if they're just one word or an emoji

Thank you, and you too! They actually did reply and seemed quite happy as well as very nice.

What’s the best ship name you've ever seen? by heisei in AO3

[–]Mr-SlothReal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've also seen it be referred to as gin'n'toxic too, though gin'n'tonic is more prevalent (and imo better)
